Answer:

18 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 4 to all terms within the parenthesis.

4(x - 6) = 4x - 24

4x - 24 = x + 30

Next, isolate the x. Add 24 to both sides, and subtract x from both sides

4x (-x) - 24 (+24) = x (-x) + 30 (+24)

4x - x = 30 + 24

Simplify. Combine like terms

3x = 54

Isolate the x. Divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (54)/3

x = 54/3

x = 18

The length of a rectangle is 2 feet less than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 180 feet squared. Find the length an

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Width=10

Length=18

Step-by-step explanation:

The length is 2 feet less then twice the width

Let the width be x.

Then the length is 2x -2 based on the given information. Use this to make an equation since it is known that the area is 180feet squared.

x(2x-2)=180

2x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0

2( x^2 - x - 90) = 0

We now have a factorable quadratic.

2(x+9)(x-10)=0

So by zero product property, x=-9, x=10 Since a measure cannot be negative, -9 is an extraneous solution.

So x=10

Then the width is 10 and the length is 18

Hope this helps! Let me know if it is correct!

The algebra tiles represent the perfect square trinomial x2 10x c. what is the value of c? c =

devlian [24]

The value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20

<h3>What are perfect squares trinomials?</h3>

They are those expressions which are found by squaring binomial expressions.

Since the given trinomials are with degree 2, thus, if they are perfect square, the binomial which was used to make them must be linear.

Let the binomial term was ax + b(a linear expression is always writable in this form where a and b are constants and m is a variable), then we will obtain:

$(ax + b)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2 + 2abx$

Comparing this expression with the expression we're provided with:

$x^2 + 10x + c$

we see that:

$a^2 = 1 \implies a = \pm 1\\b^2 = 10\\b = \pm 10\\2ab = c\\\pm2(10)1 = c\\c = \pm 20\\$

Thus, the value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20

True or False? The graph of sine can be used to construct the graph of the secant function.

amid [387]

True

Note that:

$secant \theta = \frac{1}{cos\theta}$

The graph of sine and cosine functions are very similar. They only have a shift in the x -axis.

That is, sin x = cos (90 - x)

Since there is a great similarity between the sine and cosine graphs, and the secant graph is an inverse of the cosine graph, the graph of sine can be used to construct the graph of the secant function

Mathematically:

since sec x = 1 / cos x

and, cos x = sin (90 - x)

therefore, sec x = 1 / sin (90 - x)

The graphs of the sine and secant functions are attached to this solution

Simplify the expression. . 1 V 3.0 2

Vlad [161]

Answer:

81x^4/16 (81x to the fourth over 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you apply the exponent rule: (a/b)^c -> a^c/b^c

So it looks like this: 3x^2/4^2

Then you apply the exponent to the whole thing, and 3^4 is 81, x^4 stays like that, and 2^4 is 16

You can't simplify any more after that so that's your answer

Hope this helps!
